The cost of cybercrime in the UK has reached a staggering £27bn – but what’s the actual threat to your business? From data breaches, phishing and spam, to identity theft, malware and vulnerabilities - learn how they can damage your business and the steps you can take to protect yourself.

‘Cybercrime’ has entered the lexicon in a big way and has become a significant threat to businesses wherever they are located and whatever their size. But how bad is the threat? And why does it cause such high levels of alarm and concern?
Download this whitepaper to learn why SSL is now a must-have for any organisation interested in protecting its customers and its online reputation.

Online where the reputation and success of your business is often measured by the trust that your customers have in the security of your website, it is important to understand how you can maintain and build on that trust. To that end, SSL/TLS has been the key to trust on the Internet for more than a decade and will continue to be so when it comes to providing the highest levels of protection against evolving cyber security threats. And while, yes, the technology is sophisticated and leading edge, the goal is simple: to make the Internet safer to transact business—for you, your customers and everyone else with whom you interact online.
Please use this document as a reference to understand the threat landscape and understand how you can protect your company and your infrastructure.

Over the past decade, businesses have had to adapt to an array of technical changes, including an increasingly hostile cyber environment. We saw the early precursors of cybercrime decades ago when computer use was limited to a relatively small group of specialists and electronics enthusiasts. Innovative programmers, some still in high school, would find ways to display annoying messages on their friends’ computers and from there spread to other devices via shared floppy disks.This kind of part practical joke-part vandalism form of malware has been overshadowed by the more serious, technically complex, and financially lucrative form of today’s cybercrime.
In this guide, we will examine major types of threats to information security that businesses face today as well as techniques for mitigating those threats. One of the most important tools available to us is SSL technology.

The explosive growth of the mobile apps market presents a tremendous opportunity for software developers and cybercriminals alike. Infected apps are not only a threat to mobile device users, but also to network and platform providers, device manufacturers, and the reputation of the industry as a whole. Fortunately, developers can protect their code – and their customers – with a straightforward and easy-to-manage technology: code signing certificates. This white paper details the rise of mobile applications and why code signing certificates are essential to protecting the entire mobile apps ecosystem.

As cyberattacks and fraud continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, organizations are placing a greater emphasis on cyberthreat intelligence as a way to protect against compromise, data breach, and losses from online fraud. Measuring the true value of threat intelligence has been difficult however.
For the first time the Ponemon Institute has conducted a study that reveals the facts behind the impact that weak threat intelligence is having on organizations.

The CIS Critical Security Controls (CSCs) provide 20 controls that organizations of any size can use to improve their security posture and reduce the risk of cyber threats to critical assets, data, and network infrastructure. The AlienVault USM platform, with its built-in essential security capabilities and integrated threat intelligence, can help organizations implement these controls quickly and effectively. This document describes how the AlienVault USM platform maps to each of the CIS CSCs.

Threat Intelligence is one of the most critical weapons we can use in cyber defense. Knowing which attackers are trying to target your organization, as well as how, why, and when gives you an advantage when trying to thwart these attacks.
In today’s landscape, security researchers are a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes. They’re constantly analyzing clues to an adversary’s motives and techniques, tracking down their ephemeral footprints amidst the chaos of our cyber community. However, these researches can also make hasty conclusions before all the facts are gathered, and dismiss the most important clues during investigations.
This evaluation guide is designed to help you evaluate threat intelligence service providers, so that you can effectively put threat intelligence to work for you.
You’ll learn:
• The 3 characteristics to look for when evaluating threat intelligence vendors
• The most important questions to ask when evaluating threat intelligence vendors and what to listen for

Join this dynamic LinkedIn group to be part of the cyber-security education conversation to gain an understanding for the best practices to improve security. Learn why HP says 64% of IT managers believe their printers are infected with malware, but only 45% of those IT professionals consider printers to be a medium or high risk vulnerability.
The first responsibility of IT professionals is to make sure their company’s information is secure and today any device can become an access point threat. Printers and MFPs can be the Achilles’ Heel of any cyber-security plan and are a goldmine for hackers looking to steal pertinent information. Join the conversation and learn what’s necessary to protect your company.

Looking at IT security history, the bad guys were always far more sophisticated than the people who tried to stop them. Even if companies or the government could conceive of IT security it was almost impossible to achieve it because of the lack of knowledgeable security professionals out there and the lack of security protection tools in the marketplace.

As the military and US government rely more heavily on custom-built applications for communications and management, they also become more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Worse, according to the Dept. of Homeland Security, the number of attacks on custom-built applications is doubling every year. Learn about critical threats, methods that military and civilian agencies can use to deal with cyber attacks and technologies that improve security for custom-built applications.

File integrity monitoring facilitates the detection of attacks by cybercriminals and insider threats that may result in costly data breaches. It is a critical component of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

The growth of cloud, mobility, social business and big data mean that botnets, credit card theft, cyber criminals and other external threats pose increasing risk to business continuity, financial stability and brand reputation. Read the white paper, “Preventing security risks in real time,” to learn how this new reality is forcing the evolution of organizations’ defenses to become more intelligent—using global analytics to scale visibility across broad data sets, both diverse and complementary, in real time.
